Randomness:Lacking any definite plan or order or purpose; governed by or depending on chance But question is definite plan of what level? Order of What Degree? , Purpose of what extent?There are multiple layers of plan , predictability and purpose.Every system has some hideousnessbut we can think deep into it and we can know it.Critical Faiths say that god hides every secretes from human being and he controls universe and human should not try to understand gods rules.This is God fearing faith.There is another point of view also existing in world , that is God loving point of view.People in this group feels , god is playing chess himself and chuckling at human being and saying "lets check your intelligence? child , lets play another round , lets check your ability to probe into the system and understand the rules there until human can find the exact rules of game , everything looks random whereas when you know the rules thing become deterministic.Now question is how much are we putting effort looking into the randomness , staring through the random behavior with probing mind , concentrating to it , enlightening the values with different point of views is the System finding within the randomness.better example can give better light on thissuppose there is a series of numbers 1 3 5 7 ... you will call that these are in AP series and not randomif we hide the pattern in second which looks it is random but if we see the formula behind(Simulation) then we will understand that it is a series well definedThis is the difference about Randomness and the pattern research.More you probe , more you will find that some hidden system is working inside itHope for the best that someday we will learn everything about everything

What does "solid" mean in clothing patterns?
The term 'solid' is widely used while describing apparels and clothing, and it does have a specific meaning when it is used to do so. Whenever a piece of clothing is said to be solid, it means that the whole garment is of one single color, of course excluding the attachments like zipper, buttons, or laces. Other than these kind of necessary details, nothing should be of a different color. For example, a navy blue shirt with white buttons can be called a solid blue shirt, but a pink top with yellow frills cannot be called a solid colored top.
What does it mean when a sewing pattern instructs you to "leave a tissue margin" while cutting the pieces?
If you are coping the pattern for future use you need to leave about an inch on the paper for any adjustments.See instructions:It is advisable to highlight the cutting lines that will be used then trace the pattern onto tissue or pattern paper leaving the original pattern intact. Take care to mark all notches and symbols located on each pattern piece. These can be circles, squares, triangles, grain lines, sewing directional lines, hem lines, etc. (See Guidelines 3.110 and 3.111 for graphics.) Multi-sized patterns usually don’t include seam allowances that must be added to all pattern pieces. The amount to be added will either be written on the instruction pages or on the pattern itself. There are tools available to ensure a perfect seam allowance by running them along the pattern while a parallel section of the tool traces the end of the seam allowance. Using a ruler or tape measure can be just as accurate, but more time-consuming. A standard tape measure is 5/8” wide and a convenient device for this purpose.When cutting out the paper pattern, it is advisable to cut larger margins around all sides, especially side seams and sleeve seams. When a small amount is sufficient to add what is needed for a good fit around the body, that amount can often easily be added into the side and sleeve seams. The extra margin of paper will already be there for the addition. If the pattern has a piece to be cut on the fold of the fabric, such as a center front or back, trim that part of the pattern leaving at least a ¾” margin of paper. When the pattern is laid on the fabric, the extra margin will hang over the fold line helping to keep the pattern from tearing easily while ensuring a very straight and accurate fold line. Before altering a pattern, press all the pieces with a dry iron on medium heat to smooth wrinkles. Use highlighters, colored pencils or pens to remark darts, pleats, etc. that have been altered to avoid confusion when transferring these alterations to the cut fabric.Tip: Once a pattern is adjusted to perfection, sandwich a piece of plastic such as a dry cleaner bag between the pattern piece and a piece of tissue paper. Protect ironing board and iron with silicone press sheets and press the “sandwich” until all are bonded. This will render the pattern almost indestructible for many future uses
